- the user inputs the lifestyle behaviors, which the user would like to track. These can include, for example, calories consumed, weight, blood glucose level, body mass index and bone density. The user also inputs required medication doses or this information is obtained automatically from the prescription information.
- step 54 the user views content material related to medical care, health and safety.
- This material may take the form of a website or be incorporated into a game.
- step 56 the user plays a game, which includes multiple choice questions on health and safety topics, wherein the user's answer choice directly impacts the outcome and flow of the game.
- the user is presented with content material, provided by step 54 , and then responds to questions which test the user's knowledge and understanding of the material presented. The greater the number of questions the user answers correctly on the first try, the higher the user's score and the more quickly the user finishes the game.
- the games presented will be designed to appeal to the user's demographic profile.
- the user may choose to receive help and assistance.
- Help takes the form of website FAQs, real-time interaction with a help desk representative, questions emailed, context-sensitive help accessible through a programmed key, and other standard help formats.
- the user may choose to check reminders related to the user's help behaviors. For example, the user may be reminded to refill a prescription, take a medication, or submit an insurance form.
- the user views alerts notifying the user of potentially dangerous medical or safety situations. For example, the user may have taken an incorrect dosage, be taking two drugs which interact dangerously or have recorded alcohol intake, when this is contraindicated based on the user's medication regime.
- the alerts appear automatically but the user may also view alerts electively, at any time, as well as deactivate the alert feature.
- the user may also grant permission to a third party, such as a relative, to participate in viewing the alerts.
- step 64 the user inputs physiological measures, which reflect the results of medication taken or changes in lifestyle. For example, if the user has been exercising, the user updates the user's weight or blood pressure, for example, to measure the effects of this wellness behavior. If the user suffers from a medical condition, such as diabetes, the user inputs the user's glucose level.
- An analysis of the results input, in step 64 are then viewed in step 66 .
- the system records information using the information recording portion 30 so the user can view the history of the user's progress toward wellness. So, for example, the user can view the user's glucose levels, for every day in the past month, weight gain, over the past six months and so on.
- step 68 the information is summarized and made available to health, safety and medical providers. This information provides a highly detailed view of the wellness behavior of consumers, which would not otherwise be readily available.
- FIGS. 4A-4V are sample screen shots, illustrating an example of the game format, which the user views via the gaming portion 26 .
- Formats follow the general pattern of: 1) presenting a myth about a disease or condition; 2) providing information to dispel the myth; 3) testing the user to determine whether the user has understood and assimilated the information; 4) if the user answers correctly, notifying the user and moving to the next topic; 5) if the user answers incorrectly, notifying the user and repeating the information already provided to dispel the myth; and 6) retesting the user.
- This programmed learning format which provides instant feedback, the user is motivated to continue learning the material.
- the text screens of the Figures would be included in images of rooms in a house, for example, with game and learning progress shown by advancing through the house and eventually out of it.
